The UCSF School of Medicine Dean’s Diversity Fund Committee selected Assistant Professor of Anesthesia and Director of the ZSFG Pain Service, Arthur Wood, MD, as a John A. Watson Scholar, effective July 1, 2017. The UCSF School of Medicine Dean’s Diversity Fund was established in 2015 to support the recruitment and retention of faculty who share the university’s commitment to diversity and service to underserved or vulnerable populations. Each year eight faculty members are selected. Those faculty who are selected are named the John A. Watson Scholars in honor of John A. Watson, PhD, a pioneer for diversity, an inspiring mentor, and a tenacious scientist whose service to the UCSF School of Medicine spanned forty-six years. Assistant Professor of Anesthesia, Charlene Blake, MD, PhD, was a member of the inaugural class of John A. Watson Scholars in 2015.
